Chapter 169 The Truth in Public


    Aubrey’s POV


    Finished


    Before the voice on the other end could even speak, that male werewolf, Gene, burst outughing loudly. “Aubrey! Drop the act! Do you think shing your alpha brother’s name will fool everyone? Let’s be real- you’re just an omega. The only reason the alpha didn’t make you Luna is because he pitied you. Instead, he made you his sister!”


    The surrounding beta werewolves let out approving snickers. Gene pressed on, his tone even sharper. “Otherwise, with your lowly status, how could you possibly be part of the Miguel family? You know Mr. Fray? Don’t make meugh!”


    He gave me a look full of disdain, echoed in the eyes of those around him.


    Before I could answer, he frowned at me as though baffled. “Aren’t girls supposed to be kind? Why are you so vicious? Mariana and I have already offered youpensation. You could have just epted it and moved on! Why insist on making her an omega? Is it because you’re lowborn yourself and can’t stand to see anyone else doing better?”


    “Funny,” I said with a coldugh. “The alpha made the decision to punish her, yet you don’t dare confront him. Instead, you pick on me because I’m an omega? You must be very brave.”


    “And for the record, the reason she was punished was because she tried to push me into a pool filled with concentrated wolf poison. I’m an omega–exposure to that concentration would have left my skin blistered and rotting. I’d have died in unimaginable agony. Sure, she failed in the attempt, but the intent was deadly. She got exactly what she deserved.”


    “If everyone couldmit attempted murder and get off with just an apology, then by that logic, could I do the same to you?”


    I can win an argument even when I’m in the wrong–so when I’m in the right, there’s no contest.


    Gene’s face flushed bright red, and under my unwavering stare, the onlookers began to avert their eyes one by one. No matter the situation, torturing an omega to death was universally recognized as cruelty.


    In the silence, Wolf Doctor Fray’s voice finally came through the phone.


    “Ah, little one, I remember now. Yes, a student named Mariana contácted me before. She paid two million for a bit of core information on the T–flu virus.”


    Fray chuckled twice before continuing, “You know me, I don’t involve myself in these matters. But don’t worry, about you-”


    “Then is she a student of that mysterious wolf doctor who cracked the T–flu virus?” I cut in before Fray could say something he shouldn’t. “Mr. Fray, I’ve got a few hundred werewolves here waiting for your answer.”


    The moment I spoke, Mariana’s face went pale. On the other end, Fray went quiet for a beat.


    In that pause, Mariana gritted her teeth, shoved Gene aside, and dropped to her knees before me with a loud thud.


    “Aubrey! I’m not trying to escape punishment! I lost my temper and acted without thinking. I made a mistake, and wrong is wrong! I’m sincerely apologizing to you. If you won’t forgive me, I’ll stay here on my knees forever!”

    She lowered her head again, mming it to the ground with force, and again, over and over, making the crowd gasp.


    “Aubrey! I’m sorry! If you forgive me, I’ll pay you ten million inpensation, and I’ll never appear before you again!”


    Her voice was so loud it nearly drowned out the phone call. Rolling my eyes, I turned my phone’s volume all the way up. “Mr. Fray, go ahead. Everyone here can hear you.”


    The moment I spoke, Fray’s voice came through crystal clear-


    Nonsense! Mariana, a student of that wolf doctor? With her abilities, she’s not even worthy to mention their name!”
